Blog Post #3

I Bo 21 is a complete psychopath and probably has schizophrenia, and ptsd which are linked in a way that is particularly hard to comprehend. He thinks he gets messages from space, and sends messages back that he can only here in his head. Then Finley came and everything turned upside down in this amazingly illustrated book. Finley and Boy21 have family members that were murdered. He and Boy21 have a very wierd relationship. Finley has to keep boy 21 from spilling his beans to everyone, because he promised his b-ball coach that he would help boy 21 and make him be quite about the Boy21 thing.
Finley is put through the challenge of being a person of integrity or a person of a losing  attitude. He is worried almost all of the book that he will lose his starting spot on the team. Yet he doesn't see that Boy21 needs his help to brake this cycle of mental insanity and reality.

  1. Are you sure you read Boy21 by Matthew Quick? Because I am not sure you did.
